The official Hellgate: London website has posted up word that subscribing via PayPal and PayByCash is now possible.
The website notice also announces that the Founder's Club offer, which gives folks a lifetime subscription to Hellgate: London, will end on Jan. 31.
Before Flagship Studios, there was Blizzard North. Originally known as Condor, the Redwood-based studio was acquired in 1997 by Blizzard Entertainment. At the time, Blizzard North was hard at work on the development of the game that would be the cornerstone of everything that came after: Diablo.
IGN : Remember Hellgate: London? The dark fantasy action role-playing game came out in 2007 for PC, a year before developer Flagship Studios went bankrupt. Since then, various free-to-play and online revivals have come and gone. Now, 17 years after the release of Hellgate: London, it’s back.
I remember some friends and I all bought Hellgate: London day one because it was made by some original Diablo devs. We had fun playing it, good memories.
PC Invasion: Hellgate: London is back on Steam, but it's not what you expect it to be. It's a single-player game in the vein of Asian MMOs.
PLEASE PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF GOD STAY AWAY FROM THIS STUPID GAME, ITS SO DAMN BUGGY AND WORTHLESS, IF YOU HAVE $50 BURNING A HOLE IN YOUR POCKET, YOU MIGHT AS WELL BUY TOILET PAPER, WHICH GIVES YOU MORE IN RETURN THAN THIS DAMN GAME!
